Question 11: Logical Application Definition
In CSDM, which class is used to provide the “logical” definition of software that realizes a specific business capability?
- A:Application Service
- B:Business Application
- C:Software Model
- D:Technical Service
【Correct Answer】 B. Business Application
【Detailed Explanation】
Why B is the correct answer (Business Application): This is the core class within the DESIGN phase of CSDM 5.0.
- Definition: It refers to the “blueprint” (logical framework) of software necessary to achieve business objectives, such as “SAP ERP” or “Payroll System.”
- Logical Nature: It does not depend on specific servers (production or development) or locations; it is strictly a definition of the “application asset” owned by the enterprise.
- Connectivity: It is linked to Business Capabilities, clarifying “which application realizes which capability.”
Why the other options are incorrect:
- A (Application Service): This belongs to the BUILD & RUN phase. It refers to the physical entities—such as a “production environment” or “test environment”—where the logical design (Business Application) has been specifically deployed.
- C (Software Model): This is primarily used in the realm of SAM (Software Asset Management). It is a “product definition” for license management, such as a specific vendor and version (e.g., “Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Standard”).
- D (Technical Service): This is a classification of the “services provided by IT operations teams” (e.g., DB management service, backup service) and is not a definition of an individual application.
